In this episode of Security Nation, Jen and Tod chat with Curt Barnard, Principal Security Researcher at Rapid7, about a new tool he’ll be presenting at Black Hat Arsenal, the showcase of open-source tools at Black Hat 2022 in Las Vegas. Curt gives us the details about the tool, Defaultinator, which helps security pros look up and audit for default credentials more quickly and effectively. He also tells us what else he’s excited about at this year’s lineup of cybersecurity conferences in Vegas next week.
Stick around for our Rapid Rundown, where Tod and Jen talk about a Rapid7 alum’s discovery of a vulnerability in DSL- and fiber-based web routers from Arris, as well as a recent article that debates the benefits of sharing exploit proofs of concept versus keeping them private.
